OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS.
WARNING:
Before checking adjustments, always make sure the planer is disconnected form the power source.
Work Table
The work table is mounted on the frame and is raised or lowered on four screws mounted on thrust bearings. The
work table is raised or lowered by 1/2HP motor power control or micro adjustment. The work table MUST BE parallel
to the cutterhead. This can be checked by lowering the work table to permit placing a small square block between
the work table and the cutterheadat the extreme right side of the table. Raise the table with the handle until the block
just touch the cutterhead and move the block to the left side of the table and check the cutterhead. If the table is not
parallel to the cutterhead, perform the adjustment procedures as follow:
1.
Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.
Remove the boot (C) for access to screw,
3.
Loosen lock bar (A) and turn acme screw (B) in clockwise direction, then adjust it to accurate position as shown
in Fig. 4.
Limitation for work table raising or lowering, there is a limit switch (A) for each direction of table movement. The
power table switches off to prevent damage in maximum high and low position as shown in Fig. 5 (B) is a limit block,
micro-switch block.
(A) Limit switch
(B) Limit switch stop
NOTE: The most accurate way to check cutter alignment with table parallel is with the use of a dial indicator
mounted on a surface gage.
